Original Series: Short Stories

the 8-page “The Four-Wheeled Sleeping Pill” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #3, Nov 1986) — which feels like a very early story, features Larry (best placing this story after Concrete #1-4), and refers to Maureen watching Concrete heal (seen in flashback in Concrete #4) — is best read here

the 8-page “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #1, July 1986) — which features Larry (best placing this story after Concrete #1-4), refers to Concrete’s appearance on Carson (seen in flashback in Concrete #4), and ties into the themes of work and celebrity — is best read here

the 8-page “Under the Desert Stars” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #2, Sept 1986) — which features Larry (placing it after Concrete #1-4) but doesn’t feature other distinguishing characteristics, outside of Concrete looking for inspiration for his writing — is perhaps best read here

the 8-page “The Gray Embrace” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #4, Jan 1987) — which features Concrete, Maureen, and Larry hanging out with a Hollywood executive — is perhaps best read here

the 8-page “Burning Brightly, Burning…” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #5, Feb 1987) — which plays with the theme of celebrity but otherwise is hard to place in continuity — is perhaps best read here

the 8-page “Straight in the Eye” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #10, Sept 1987) — in which Concrete rescues Larry’s brother — is perhaps best read here

the 8-page “Next Best” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #12, Nov 1987) — which features Tripod (placing this after Concrete #6) and focuses partially on Concrete’s love for Maureen (as do early pages of Concrete #7) — is best read here

Concrete grows horns

Concrete pin-up -- 1 pages

art by Paul Chadwick

cover by Paul Chadwick; published by Dark Horse Comics; $1.75; cover-dated Apr 1988

the 8-page “A Sky of Heads: With a Whimper” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #16, Mar 1988) is perhaps best read here

the 8-page “A Sky of Heads: Quality Time” (from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #18, June 1988) is perhaps best read here

the two-page framing sequence (a sequence later titled “Fitful Sleep” and published from Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1 #20, Aug 1988) — featuring Tripod and (like “Next Best,” the two “A Sky of Heads” stories, and to a lesser degree Concrete #7) addressing the theme of boredom — is perhaps best read here
